Biodegradable super absorbent polymers are biocompatible and degradable polymers. These are made using a combination of renewable and synthetic materials. Super absorbent polymers are absorb and retain large amounts of liquid as compared to their own existing mass. Biodegradable super absorbent polymers are based on natural raw materials such as chitin, succinic anhydride, and cassava starch g-acrylamide. This material has superior molecular mass with cross-linked polyelectrolyte structures which can absorb over 1000 times their mass. Super absorbent polymers are extensively employed in personal hygiene products such as sanitary napkins, adult diapers, and baby diapers. Biodegradable super absorbent polymers are eco-friendly and safe for the environment.

Biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymers Market: Segmentation

Based on product type, the global biodegradable super absorbent polymers market can be segmented into polyvinyl alcohols, polysaccharides, polyitaconic acids, polyacrylamides, and others. Polyvinyl alcohol is expected to account for a dominant share of the global biodegradable super absorbent polymer market during the forecast period. Superior absorbing properties provided for the manufacture of baby diapers and sanitary napkins is likely to boost the demand for biodegradable super absorbent polymers.

In terms of end-use, the biodegradable super absorbent polymers market can be divided into disposable diapers, adult incontinence products, sanitary products, agriculture & horticulture, medical, and others. The disposable diapers segment is projected to account for a significant share in the next few years. Increasing population of new born babies across the globe is anticipated to propel biodegradable super absorbent market in the near future.

Biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymers Market: Region-wise Outlook
